How to Make an Omelet in a Plastic Bag in Boiling Water

Whether camping out or staying at home, it is always helpful to have a simple but tasty way to quickly fix eggs. An omelet can be tailor made to suit a number of different tastes, but it is time consuming and might be difficult for a novice to successfully cook. This is easily remedied by using a plastic bag and boiling water. By cooking an egg inside a bag you create an omelet in a short amount of time without worrying about cooking technique or a messy pan to clean.

Things You'll Need

  • Large pot
  • Medium bowl
  • 3 eggs
  • Shredded cheese
  • Bacon
  • Chopped ham
  • Chopped vegetables
  • Tomatoes
  • Salt
  • Pepper
  • Boil-safe plastic bag
  • Tongs

Preparation

  1. Fill a large pot with water, and bring it to a boil.

  2. Break three eggs into a medium-size bowl, and beat them for 1 minute.

  3. Add shredded cheese, chopped ham and vegetables -- whatever food you want in your omelet.

  4. Sprinkle salt and pepper, to taste, and mix well.

Cooking

  1. Pour the egg mixture carefully into a boil-safe bag.

  2. Partially close the bag, squeeze out excess air and then seal it the rest of the way to prevent the eggs from leaking out of the bag as they cook.

  3. Place the sealed plastic bag into the boiling water and leave it for 8 minutes or until it is almost completely cooked.

  4. Remove the bag from the water using tongs, and place it aside on a paper towel so it can cool enough to safely handle.

  5. Open the bag over a plate and let the omelet roll out..
